The Broadcom NetXtreme II 5708 NIC is easily deployable and supports multiple functions over a unified fabric to help simplify network management and reduce costs. It features TOE technology for Windows® that offloads the TCP/IP processing from the server CPU onto the local area network (LAN) adapter. A NIC with TOE technology helps preserve valuable CPU cycles for applications processing, and improves overall server performance and network efficiency. In turn, this helps to preserve customer investments in applications, manageability and security.

The NetXtreme II 5708 NIC also provides iSCSI host bus adapter (HBA) functionality by offloading the iSCSI block level storage processing onto the NIC and running iSCSI through the existing Ethernet infrastructure. Remote Boot and Wake-on-LAN capability enables remote system setup and maintenance, which can reduce the costs of on-site service* visits. Smart Load Balancing helps increase throughput and fault tolerance when network interface cards are configured to work together as a team to share traffic and eliminate bottlenecks. Receive-side scaling (RSS) enables packet receive processing to scale with the number of available processors.
